Azerbaijan will issue electronic visas to foreign tourists

According to the head of the tourism sector of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan Aydin Ismiyev, foreign tourists arriving in Azerbaijan will get electronic visas in a simplified mode.

They're already working in this direction, according to Trend. However Ismiyev did not specify when issuing of electronic visas will start. It depends not only on the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, he explained. To apply this innovation they must create and launch a new automated system and to prepare the forms.

"After the introduction of electronic visas tourists will be able to submit their documents to the embassies and consulates through the Internet and will get the answer in 15 days" - added the Azerbaijanian official said.
